Balaclava Extreme with Windproof inserts Black

FEATURES:

The breathable and bacteriostatic insert around the nose and mouth allows for free breathing and keeps the head clean. The highly breathable and antibacterial upper section of this balaclava makes it more elastic, improving the fit, and well-ventilated, thanks to the windproof membrane. The antibacterial treatment of this fabric helps neutralize bacteria that form on the surface. The lower section of the balaclava, covering the face and all areas of the neck, features a windproof membrane, which protects against cold air currents while maintaining a comfortable fit.

DESCRIPTION:

• Flatlock seams -  Minimize bulk and pressure points or chafing during prolonged use of the balaclava. The feeling is that of a garment that adapts to the shape of the head without leaving visible marks on the skin. Furthermore, the thin structure and flatlock seams minimize the bulk between the head and the helmet, ensuring a smooth and natural fit.
• Breathable and bacteriostatic insert in the nose/mouth area -  Made of polypropylene and elastolefin, a combination designed to offer maximum functionality in a delicate area. Polypropylene promotes breathability and moisture wicking, keeping the skin dry and limiting the formation of condensation inside the helmet. Elastolefin ensures elasticity and softness, adapting to the shape of the face without constriction. Furthermore, it is naturally resistant to bacteria and mold, chemicals, and heat, ideal for technical sportswear. The bacteriostatic function of a fabric does not eliminate bacteria, but limits their growth by preventing them from multiplying. This helps reduce the formation of unpleasant odors and maintains the hygiene of the garment over time, even after repeated uses. The result is effective protection that allows you to breathe freely and reduces the risk of fogging of glasses or the visor.
• Windproof inserts (face and front/side/back of neck) – Strategically positioned in the most exposed and cold-sensitive areas, these inserts are made of a technical fabric with a windproof membrane. Applying this fabric only where it's most needed keeps the rest of the structure lighter, more breathable, and more flexible, while maintaining good overall ventilation. This balance between protection and breathability ensures a comfortable, stable fit, suitable for extended use. The inclusion of the membrane does not significantly increase thickness and does not compromise fit. The balaclava is comfortable and ergonomic.
• Breathable and antibacterial insert (skull and nape area) -  A breathable fabric was chosen for the upper part of this balaclava to promote the dispersion of moisture and body heat, keeping the skin as dry as possible. This sweat-management ability contributes to overall comfort, reducing the sensation of dampness or overheating. Breathability promotes proper ventilation and reduces the accumulation of condensation in the helmet. Furthermore, this fabric is treated and designed to help neutralize bacteria that form on the surface of the balaclava during use. This helps keep the garment more hygienic and prevents the formation of unpleasant odors, even after long activity sessions.
• Anatomical and ergonomic -  This balaclava combines an anatomical structure that faithfully follows the natural shape of the head with an ergonomic design to ensure comfort and freedom of movement during use. The result is a precise and stable fit that adapts like a second skin. The lines and materials are designed to offer enveloping coverage, to help keep the head in place under the helmet and to ensure a feeling of lightness even during intense or prolonged activity. A perfect balance between adaptability and functionality.
• Soft fleece lining -  Provides a pleasant sensation of warmth and comfort against the skin. The soft and delicate fabric envelops the face without chafing or discomfort, offering optimal thermal insulation without being bulky. A cozy and comfortable fit even after several hours of use.
• Light thermal level (-10°/+10°) -  Ideal for winter, even in freezing weather. It's helpful to consider your subjective perception and anticipated physical activity. The temperatures in our thermal levels are purely indicative.
